Eight of Disks - Prudence

Tree of Life: Hod through Earth
Astrology: Sun in the 1. decan of Virgo

For the Eight of Disks, the entering of Hod means a new beginning. The Disks have learned the lesson that Saturn has teached in the desastrous Seven, that everything needs time and consideration. Now here within Hod, the area of logic, the Eight of Disks develop prudence and patience.

So the Eight of Disks have learned to be careful, take their time to overthink their steps, considerate all facts and patiently wait for their chances. They absolve an apprenticeship in their own field, trying to do it better and avoid the mistakes from ealier stages.

On the dark side, the Eight of Disks can be over-careful, or careful just in small things while foolish in the big, over-anxious in front of risks, unable to come to any conclusion or decision, considerating with no end but finally doing nothing.
